BLOODLINE: On horses' hooves -- poetically UPDATED

BLOODLINE ; On Horse's Hooves
[DNA results]

 

I woke to see the sun rise

Blood red

On the Kush mountain tops

I walked the muddy waters

Edge

Of

Uttar Pradesh

 

My seed was carried

By the fury

Of horses’ hooves

Striking Death's  fire

From the place where Sun seeks Day

To new horizons blue

That on fields of green and gold play

 

I am a soul

Sixty thousand years

Dying on a western shore

As I’ve lived and died

So many times before

Oh majestic colours Longobardolino.

Ann of Norway What grandeur in the mountains, the azure blue horizons, and the blood red sunsets, the first fires of your heritage sewn in the exotic climes and dramatic lives of the Indian nations. I think this is beautiful Joe, yes truly beautiful. Love Annuccia.
